She has two kids, a girl (11) and a boy (8) who keep her busy with all their different sports and activities! She and her family are huge San Diego Padres fans and enjoy going to as many games a season as possible. She also enjoys hanging with friends, going to concerts, going to the beach, walking her dogs, trying new restaurants out, and of course getting tucked up at Studio Barre! She’s been a loyal SB client since 2017 and turned that passion into a career in 2019 when she started working for the creator and founder of Studio Barre, Shannon Higgins, at the corporate headquarters.
My name is Olivia! I grew up in Carlsbad and my mom has been teaching Studio Barre for just about as long as I can remember. The lovely ladies of Studio Barre have raised me and become a big group of mothers to me. When I am not working I enjoy beach days with my friends and hanging out with my mother (the unicorn of SB). I also work at Pipe’s cafe in cardiff and Ulta Beauty. I could not be more excited to join this tribe of positivity and love!! Nothing feels better than walking out of class!

Mother of two and San Diego native, Jess grew up a four sport athlete and learned the value of sisterhood/ community those team sports provided from a very young age. Her favorite memories from that time have nothing to do with scores or stats, but the thrill of making her teammates feel better about themselves on and off the court after playing with her. “After college, I really found a melty soft spot, a new sort of thrill when a teammate would confide they played better with my encouragement-and hope to make this community feel the same way when they walk out the doors of Studio Barre Carlsbad. Not only do I love this insanely good workout, but the clientele is the best around. They fill my heart with happiness and I hope to give that right back in return! I’m so grateful to be part of this magical team at Studio Barre Carlsbad and I cannot wait to tuck you up!”
Meet Kaylie! Long time client, forever Studio Barre lover 🫶 Kaylie has been tucking with Studio Barre for over 13 years now {yup, thirteen YEARS} and everyday has grown a deeper passion to creating the community, culture and confidence within the Carlsbad area. Mama of two, proud wife to her husband Ben {yeah he tucks too}, and practicing Occupational Therapist for the past 21 years, Kaylie decided to take her love for Studio Barre to the next level. Being a college athlete, she thrived on the group fitnesses atmosphere because it can be similar to team sport feeling. Studio Barre filled that {and more} with the challenging workout and team-like atmosphere.
“When we found out there was an opportunity to open a studio we decided to jump on it. Becoming a Studio Barre Instructor and soon to be Owner has allowed me to incorporate my knowledge of the body and my love for the workout and now share this with others so they can feel strong and confident while having a great time in a supportive community” – Kaylie
